Re: [gnso-osc-csg] Qualifications for Chair & Vice Chair

I believe that most of us have had leadership roles, have chaired meetings, 
lead projects and that should be ok for the present job too. 
 
AS for as I am concerned, some details below may interest the members.
-
Chair or vice-chair in my opinion is a leadership role and person should be 
able to carry the team members together by establishing and creating a good 
communication. He/she should be able to communicate his/her viewpoints 
effectively and able to appreciate other's viewpoint. Should have enough time 
and energy to spare for the work.

I was Chair of Editorial Group of .ORG Advisory Council (www.pir.org) for a 
term in the very first year of PIR and did commendable work in establishing 
procedures and creating background for future work through online and face to 
face meetings and harnessing the talent of group members. Later, I was Vice 
Chair of Policy and Outreach Group for a term and helped the chair or led the 
group in chair's absence. A wealth of information about me is available in 
Google search by entering name as: "S. S. Kshatriy" (please note the absence of 
a after y in name.

I also played leadership roles in my non-com work with professional bodies. 
I was Founder Secretary of Karnataka chapter of Indo-French Technical 
Association and organised the chapter and its activities for future work. Prior 
to that, the Association was centered only at Mumbai and Karnataka was the 
first chapter organised in a full State. The work required leading a group of 
professionals to organise the Chapter activities such as Seminars, Workshops, 
meetings and visits.

I was joint secretary of Karnataka Center of The Institution of Engineers 
(India) for 4 years and Chair of its Production Engineering Division for 8 
years. It will be too lenghty to elaborate the work. The Institution of 
Engineers is a body of about 80,000 professionals as Fellows and Members plus 
others like Associates and Students.

In my professional work in Space Research and other laboratories, I have 
organised/created Departments and Projects and managed them.

I appreciate the bios that all of the candidates for chair and vice chair have 
sent to the list.  They provide helpful background information on each of what 
I think are now five candidates, but in some cases it does not provide me any 
information on whether the candidates would be effective chairs and/or vice 
chairs.   In Olga's case, I have been able to observe her in action, but for 
most of the others, that is not the case.
 
I would appreciate it if each candidate would provide some information about 
what you believe the most important qualities of a chair/vice-chair and list 
some experiences you have had in that regard.
